The Proposal Development Unit in the Office of Research and Innovation at NC State University invites everyone in the NC State community and the broader NC TraCS Institute community to participate in the NIH @ NC State Fall Grantsmanship Series.

Almost 60% of NIH’s budget is spent on a class of grants called the RPGs (Research Project Grants). This session will walk through the most common RPG activity codes, such as R01, R21, R03, U01, and P01, and discuss why a researcher may choose a particular activity code for a given project.

UNC Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and the UNC School of Social Work are co-sponsoring Language Summit 2022. The summit will take place across four days—while attendees are encouraged to attend multiple sessions, you do not have to attend all to benefit from the presentations/discussions.

Together, we will think through the importance of intentional language use and how language can be harmful, understand how language is always changing and changes are typically seen in spoken language before written language, and develop more inclusive language practices across daily communications in our work and in our communities.

In this panel, we will discuss the connections between language and legislation and how language can be used intentionally to disrupt injustice and promote inclusive, democratic learning environments where all students can thrive. Panelists include: Xigrid Soto-Boykin, assistant research professor/senior scientist for bilingual learning, Children's Equity Project, Arizona State University; JP Przewoznik, clinical assistant professor, UNC School of Social Work; and North Carolina State Representative Julie Von Haefen, NC General Assembly.
